Simplify Square Root of 40308

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 40308. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 40308 in its simplest radical form using two different methods.

To be more specific, we have created an illustration below showing what we want to calculate. Our goal is to make "A" outside the radical (√) as large as possible, and "B" inside the radical (√) as small as possible.

√40308 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 40308 to simplify the square root of 40308. This is how to calculate A and B using this method:

A = Calculate the square root of the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 40308. The factors of 40308 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 3359, 6718, 10077, 13436, 20154, and 40308. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 40308 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 40308. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 40308 is 4. Furthermore, 40308 divided by 4 is 10077, therefore B equals 10077.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 40308 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√40308 = A√B

√40308 = 2√10077

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 40308 to simplify the square root of 40308 to its simplest form possible. This is how to calculate A and B using this method:

A = Multiply all the double prime factors (pairs) of 40308 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 40308 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3359. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 40308 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 40308 divided by 4 is 10077. Therefore, B equals 10077.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 40308 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√40308 = A√B

√40308 = 2√10077
